Tyre Replacement - Triumph Trophy Handbook

Maintenance and Adjustment

Tyre Replacement

All Triumph motorcycles are carefully and
extensively tested in a range of riding
conditions to ensure that the most effective
tyre combinations are approved for use on
each model. It is essential that approved tyres,
fitted in approved combinations, are used
when purchasing replacement tyres. The use
of non-approved tyres in non-approved
combinations, may lead
instability, loss of control and an accident.
On models fitted with ABS, different wheel
speeds, caused by non-approved tyres, can
affect the function of the ABS computer.
See the Specification section for details of
approved tyre combinations. Always have
tyres fitted and balanced by your authorised
Triumph dealer who has the necessary
training and skills to ensure safe, effective
fitment.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring System
(Only on models fitted with TPMS)
Caution
An adhesive label is fitted to the wheel rim
to indicate the position of the tyre pressure
sensor. Care must be taken when replacing
the tyres to prevent any damage to the tyre
pressure sensors. Always have your tyres
fitted by your authorised Triumph dealer
and inform them that tyre pressure sensors
are fitted to the wheels.

Use of non-recommended tyres can affect
wheel speed and cause the Triumph
Traction Control function not to operate,
potentially leading to loss of control and an
accident in conditions where the Triumph
Traction Control would normally function.
to motorcycle
The ABS computer operates by comparing
the relative speed of the front and rear
wheels. Use of non-recommended tyres
can affect wheel speed and cause the ABS
function not to operate, potentially leading
to loss of control and an accident in
conditions where the ABS would normally
function.
If a tyre sustains a puncture, the tyre must
be replaced. Failure to replace a punctured
tyre, or operation with a repaired tyre, can
lead to instability, loss of control or an
accident.
